Jesus: The Wilderness Years

Two thousand years ago, a young boy is on the verge of becoming a teenager in a small, unimportant town in the Middle East. His school reports describe him as a bit of a dreamer, knowledgeable about Scripture and with an impressive ability to tread water. His dad wants him to go into the family business and is not happy about his lack of career motivation. Luckily, the boy has a best friend who can help him cope with school, learn how to talk to girls and improve his awful storytelling-technique. The boy’s name? Jesus. The rest, as they say, is Biblical History.
This book is not intended to offend anyone’s right to believe whatever they wish. It is historical fiction. Rather unusually, you can decide how much is historical and how much is fiction. Any belief system should be able to absorb the shock of being questioned and tested. No Christians (or their beliefs) were harmed in the writing of this book.
